Hello everyone, has anyone got denied to enter Thailand with a DTV Visa holder?

I had entered 2 times this year but stayed the whole 60 days for both times. But now I got DTV approved so I want to know if there’s gonna be a problem with new rules even I have DTV.

Hello!

I stay in Thailand for six month on a METV, make trips to different locations in the country and abroad, but always has my hone in Hua Hin, same adress. I will not do any TM30 (except first day), is this okay? The owner of the house comes from sweden und most time unreachable. Thank you...

ive been to thailand 3 times since 11 may 2025 can l go again in march 2026

I opened a Bank Account with only DTV Visa. I spoke to them in Thai and explained my situation and my plans in Thailand. I needed to go to 8 branches in North Thailand. I also had a Thai driver license, rent lease, a very clean passport and I dressed appropriately. It is possible if you put alot of effort in to it

Hello everyone. I am a DTV holder like many of you.

I am a YouTuber, and I applied for the DTV visa by myself. The total cost was approximately USD 400. As we all know, DTV holders are generally not allowed to open a Thai bank account. However, I did not stop trying.

I sent emails to several Thai banks explaining that DTV holders need access to banking services while staying in Thailand. Most banks replied with polite rejections. However, Bangkok Bank replied and invited me to visit a branch to discuss the matter with the branch manager. The email also mentioned that opening a bank account would depend on the branch manager’s consideration in my case.

I visited the nearest Bangkok Bank branch with all required documents and mentioned the email invitation. Unfortunately, the branch manager informed me that DTV holders are currently not allowed to open bank accounts. It seemed there was no coordination between the email response and the branch itself. I found this experience somewhat confusing but wanted to share it honestly.

At the moment, I am using TrueMoney, and it is very useful. I upgraded my account to the Advanced level using my driving license. For daily use, it works well.

However, I would like to share one important point for fellow DTV holders:

TrueMoney applies fees after a certain number of transactions. After 30 received transactions and 30 transfer transactions, fees may apply. Merchant payments (such as 7-Eleven, Makro, and other registered merchants) are not included in this count. However, individual payments, such as paying taxi drivers, street food vendors, or personal transfers, are included.

I hope this information is helpful to others in a similar situation.

Thank you, and have a good day.

For anyone who was concerned — I’ve just cleared immigration at Suvarnabhumi Airport for the sixth time this year. The officer greeted me with a big smile and stamped my passport without a single question. That brings my total stay this year to around 100 days, never exceeding 25 days and always returns to my home town.

Conclusion- if you are a legitimate tourist, there is no need to worry about the new immigration rules .

Does anyone have experience with Visa agencies that claim to cover your dollar amounts needed needed for visas real or b.s.? Thanks

Hello, I am currently doing my research on moving to Thailand. I have been to Thailand a few times throughout my life. I have been "retired" since 30 years old. I get a pension from the US Government.

I am exploring 2 visa options.I do understand that rules constantly change.

DTV visa by way of Muay Thai training.

Question is do I need to re enroll every time I leave/re enter Thailand?

Retirement Visa- Currently I am 47 so would have to wait til I turn 50. I have a constant monthly pension since I was 30 years old. Pension is well over the 65k monthly requirement. I do not wish to open a bank account in Thailand put over $25k (which I do have in my US bank now). Mainly because I have heard that Thai banks have been freezing accounts of foreign holders. And that the money has to be in the account for 2 months prior to getting the visa.

Any advise someone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Airport thai only enter queue

Do they except the new TDAC for foreigners with thai wife.

Asking because Thais don't need TDAC to enter.

Use to be not a problem.

or do they reject you & send you to the tourist queue.

I have a Nepali client traveling with an original itinerary of Thailand (3 nights), Singapore (2 nights), and Malaysia (3 nights). Singapore is visa on arrival for Nepali passport holders, while Thailand and Malaysia require pre-applied visas. All tickets were issued for visa purposes; however, the Thailand visa was rejected on 23 December and marked under a “watch list,” meaning re-application is not possible for at least one month, while the Malaysia visa is already received. The issued tickets are Nepal–Thailand and Thailand–Singapore with AirAsia, Singapore–Malaysia by coach, and Malaysia–Nepal with Batik Air. Since Nepal–Singapore airfare is currently very expensive, we are considering using the existing Nepal–Thailand ticket only for transit and changing the Thailand–Singapore flight to the same day, keeping the passenger airside without clearing Thai immigration and traveling with hand carry only (no checked baggage). Another option is to purchase a new Thailand–Singapore ticket while retaining or rescheduling the remaining sectors to reduce cost. I would appreciate guidance from fellow agents and operators on whether a Nepali passport holder can transit through Thailand without a Thailand visa under these conditions (same-day transit, airside only, no baggage, no immigration clearance, different PNR ticket) and whether airlines allow boarding in such cases?
